After losing two starters in the trenches to injuries, the Green Bay Packers are moving on with the preseason winding down.
They got a bit of good news Monday when defensive tackle Letroy Guion returned from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him all of camp. Guion hopes he can help ease the sting of the loss of nose tackle B.J. Raji to a season-ending biceps injury.
Rookie Corey Linsley is in his second day as the first-string center after presumed starter J.C. Tretter had a knee injury last week against Oakland that will sideline him for several weeks.
